American men and women fought and died in Iraq. Our government searched for a way to retaliate for the heinous acts of 9-11. Terrorists used any means necessary to advocate for their cause or to strike out in blind rage against the system. Mass media was on a feeding frenzy filling the airwaves with non-stop coverage of the disaster du jour. Meanwhile, across the land, shoppers crowded the malls mindlessly buying better and more expensive luxury goods. Maxwell Dwyer, a successful corporate executive, was fed up. He chucked it all for an authentic life. Follow along as Max navigates his way through the minefield of family issues set against the events on a much larger world stage. Will Max exact revenge on Evangelist Tony Metro for the death of Max's teenage daughter? Will Max put a stop to Bucky Schumacher, the gnarly old buzzard stalking his wife? Will grandson Rick Anderson survive his tour of duty in Iraq? If he survives, will he be whole and well? Maxwell Dwyer, the ambitious executive, chucks it all to return to rural life, but there is no getting away. Follow along as Max confronts life in a time of the Iraq war and domestic terrorism.
